Aurelius Announces Balance of Phase 2 Drillhole Results at Mikwam Including 4 Metres Grading 8.9 g/t Gold and 6 Metres Grading 7.9 g/t Gold

31.10.2018  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, Oct. 31, 2018 - Aurelius Minerals Inc. (TSX.V: AUL) (the “Company” or “Aurelius”) is pleased to announce the balance of drill results and the completion of its successful Phase Two drilling program at the Mikwam Property. The Phase Two program demonstrates a substantial and expanding continuous gold system with high-grade zones.

Mikwam Exploration Long Section


The 3,923 metre Phase Two program included 17 exploration holes on five sections along strike of the Mikwam gold deposit.

Highlights from the remaining Phase 2 holes include:

  • AUL-18-19 intersected
    --2.3 grams per tonne (“g/t”) of gold over 24.5 metres (“m”); and
  • AUL-18-20 intersected
    --6.3 g/t gold over 3m; and
  • AUL-18-23 intersected
    --2.2 g/t gold over 29m;
    ----Including 7.9 g/t gold over 6m; and
  • AUL-18-24 intersected
    --1.36 g/t over 41m;
    ----Including 5.0 g/t gold over 8m; and
    ------Including 8.9 g/t gold over 4m.

“The Phase Two program, combined with our Phase One results, exceeded expectations. We are thrilled with the results of our two programs in 2018. They demonstrate an expanding continuous gold system at the Mikwam Property,” stated Mark N.J. Ashcroft, P. Eng, Aurelius President and CEO. “We look forward to the next phase of exploration.”

“Our Phase Two program has successfully expanded the size of the gold zone at Mikwam and revealed a trend of considerably higher grades,” commented Jeremy Niemi, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration. “Our goal is to define a significant gold resource at Mikwam and we have set the stage for the next round of work.”

The Mikwam Deposit is located approximately 30 kilometres west of the Casa Berardi Mine and along the same prominent regional structure, known as the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone (CBDZ). The Mikwam area is covered with up to 40 metres of overburden, and as a result, is relatively under explored when compared to other regions of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The two drilling campaigns by Aurelius in 2018 have expanded the gold mineralization zone at Mikwam and confirmed a similar local geological setting as Casa Berardi.

Future campaigns at Mikwam will be designed to continue to expand the deposit and to identify additional mineralized bodies along the CBDZ on the property.

1. Intervals may not represent true width of the mineralized zone and gold values are not capped.

Mikwam contains an estimated inferred mineral resource1 of 1.81 million tonnes grading 2.34 g/t gold, containing an estimated 136,000 ounces of gold as reported in the Technical Report dated December 8, 2016, compliant with NI 43-101 and filed on SEDAR.

1. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Estimated using a cut-off grade of 1.00 g/t gold. Tonnes have been rounded to the nearest 10,000, grade has been rounded to two significant digits and estimated ounces have been rounded to the nearest 1,000.

All samples were submitted to Bureau Veritas in Timmins, Ontario, for sample preparation by crushing one kilogram to 70 per cent less than two millimetres, creation of a 500-gram split and then pulverizing to 85 per cent passing 75 microns. Sample pulps are submitted for gold analysis with a 30-gram fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy finish (code FA430). Samples returning higher than 10 parts per million gold were re-assayed with a 30-gram fire assay and gravimetric finish. Control samples (accredited gold standards, blanks and duplicates) were inserted into the sample sequence by Bureau Veritas on a regular basis to monitor precision of results.

Mr. Jeremy Niemi, P.Geo. and Vice President, Exploration of Aurelius and the Company’s Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for the Abitibi Greenstone Belt properties, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this release.
